In handle blade retention?

#1

Post by FissionMailed »

Hey guys, how well does the blade stay in the handle with the Para Military 2? I have a Superhawk [which is my only spyderco with a compression lock] and the in handle retention is not that good at all. I find that with very little effort the blade comes out of the handle in pocket or if I flick my wrist a little bit it comes out. Thank you!

My user will not come out easily at all, It won't come open in my pocket and a light flick of the wrist does nothing as well.

Mine will not snap or flick out, regardless of how hard I try.

It takes me a hard 2 foot long whip with the blade pointing down when open to get it to come out, so no, it won't come out easily.
